Good luck to him being the head guard in the Speed nuthouse <br /><br />BTW, did you hear ESPN is starting a new network? Yeah, an ESPN for women. They can&#39;t get their act together with what they got, but now they want to add more???? Makes no sense and I know I won&#39;t be watching ESPNW since they have already insulted me, a female sports fan. ESPN claims that their women viewers are interested in &quot;sports&quot; such as the spelling bee, cheerleading competitions and things like that. Geeze, those idiots at ESPN just continue to amaze me with their stupidity and arrogance.Darcienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-34869256247797529362010-10-01T17:47:32.994-04:002010-10-01T17:47:32.994-04:00okay I&#39;ll play Allen Bestwick...you can&#39;t ...okay I&#39;ll play Allen Bestwick...you can&#39;t control destiny....<br /><br />John&#39;s doing fine.

However, I don&#39;t think he&#39;s quite found his place with his partners in the booth. He&#39;s gotten caught a couple of times trying to sound like he knows more about what&#39;s happening on track than he really does.<br />I think once he gets comfortable interacting with the guys, he&#39;ll be fine. He just needs to understand he can simply introduce the discussion and let them go. He doesn&#39;t have to &quot;carry&quot; the show like he does on the Speed Stage. It&#39;s actually more informal and conversational up in the booth.<br /><br />Even as I type this, he&#39;s sounding better...Allan Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-66232140872638119652010-10-01T16:51:59.999-04:002010-10-01T16:51:59.999-04:00I think Johnny TV does a pretty good job of quelli...I think Johnny TV does a pretty good job of quelling the nonsense when Kyle or Kenny act goofy or digress from the subject at hand. I used to like Kenny&#39;s outgoing personality but he has gotten too boisterous. Rutledge has always been too silly and should be removed. He&#39;s not professional and rarely has anything to say that is related to racing. If his antics are a planned part of the &quot;show&quot;, that&#39;s just bad production.gopapanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-87180353691324751632010-10-01T16:26:58.343-04:002010-10-01T16:26:58.343-04:00Since I grew up in the same area of Alabama as Lar...Since I grew up in the same area of Alabama as Larry Mac, I think he says &quot;July&quot; just fine!<br /><br />I think somebody was turned down for a prom date by a southern belle. ;)Lisa Hoganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467463661032218684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-68743495661772614362010-10-01T15:58:53.298-04:002010-10-01T15:58:53.298-04:00Hi Lisa :)Hi Lisa :)Gymmiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07757475764450427760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-1176793832831556852010-10-01T15:42:43.117-04:002010-10-01T15:42:43.117-04:00Ole Larry Mac sounds a little down in the dumps to...Ole Larry Mac sounds a little down in the dumps today.<br /><br />I guess his &quot;audition&quot; last week didnt go so well in the booth.<br /><br />Maybe someone has finally told him to SHUT UP !Ken-Michigannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-3812700111708873072010-10-01T15:19:30.716-04:002010-10-01T15:19:30.716-04:00Johnny is doing great but what&#39;s going on with...Johnny is doing great but what&#39;s going on with the lighting on Wendy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-43968159828455000702010-10-01T15:18:19.024-04:002010-10-01T15:18:19.024-04:0015 minutes into the NW practice and already audio ...15 minutes into the NW practice and already audio is messing up.
